    Nice setup there, vertical is definitely the way to go when starting from seed.
    We didn't grow any veggies from seed this year. We usually do but this year we're scaling back the garden to focus on other projects.
    Kind of miss growing from seed. It's fun to watch them grow and know that the bigger they get, the closer we are to spring.

    Get them suckers in the dirt, times a wastin'

    We're going to give Brussel Sprouts a try again. Grew them last year, but the yield wasn't too good.
    Also trying Cumin again, it didn't grow at all for me last year.

    Wife and I almost got one similar, but about 4x6x5' tall. Something like that. It was on sale for $50, and I'm kicking myself for not grabbing one.

    I would like to get some stuff started in the house by mid-late April, so that might be how I do it.
    Thanks for the info.

    I read microgreens were easy to grow indoors. The downside is there weren't many seeds in the packet. I will stick with other mixes.

    Ha! Nope! I try to pick up Burpee seeds at the stores because they are about 1/2 off the online price. I like Burpee because I get the most consistent germination rates and the seedlings are generally strong.

    This year I am 50/50 with Park Seed and Swallowtail Garden.
